You are doing so well. I mean, seriously… look how far you’ve come! You’ve survived things you never thought you could survive. Every day you are hearing more and more clearly. Every day you are discovering more truth and most importantly, you are cultivating more love for yourself and others. Your compassion is expanding. Your strength is increasing. Your authenticity is rising.
There is a humility about you that is rare and hard to come by. Your life experiences have gifted you with an ability to ask questions instead of needing to be the one that has all the answers.
Your actions and the way you carry yourself reveal your character to others. You no longer feel the need to tell people who you are. You allow people to discover that for themselves. You don’t edify yourself. Others do that for you. You observe others around you that still find it necessary to explain how amazing they are. You listen to them articulating their various skill sets while observing their obvious need for validation and significance. They still have something to prove. You have outgrown those patterns of behavior. Knowing who you are intrinsically, in the silent recesses of your heart, is enough to validate your worth. You remain quite while others speak for you.
You know what you need. You know what’s best for you. You’ve taken your power back. You can stand up for yourself now. You can protect your values and beliefs without becoming uncentered by outside voices. Those days of trusting someone else to be more enlightened, have more wisdom, or have a better understanding of what is best for you are over. You now realize you have your own hotline to heaven, a direct link to your Source that is readily available to you at any time. It is speaking, and you have finally realized you have the ability to hear marvelously. You know who you are. You know where you are going. You may not know all the details, but you know better than anyone the trajectory of your destined path.
You’ve put in the time. You’ve put in the work, and now you are becoming. You are in the process of becoming the best version of you!
While on the journey, love yourself ridiculously. Surround yourself with voices that see you, edify you, and remind you of all the qualities you possess to shine like the Super Nova that you are! Life is too short to hang around people that attempt to limit you. There are no limitations except the ones you place upon yourself. Remove them. Your dream is as big as your imagination will allow it to be!
You have everything you need… everything! It’s inside of you! Keep pulling from that. Your answers aren’t out there. They are in your heart. They abide in your Spirit. Take time to release them over yourself every day.
It is true I have found answers on the pages of a book, and I have found answers laced in the framework of the stars, but the true Logos is within the hearts of man. It is a breathing Word, a Divine Deposit, that sits in the seat of the soul, alive and active and continuously speaking relevant, timely truth.
As above so below.
As without so within.
The Universe is inside of you.
God is inside of you.
Get still and you will know this.
You will know Him.
You will know you.
No one can know you more than you know you, so know thyself. Get busy with your love affair. Fall in love with you. Enjoy you. Fall head over heels. Make it a mad, affectionate love story to be etched in the history books of heaven.
Your search is being rewarded. Answers are being given. You are hearing wonderfully! Clear any doubt that would tell you otherwise. Keep listening. Keep swimming in your river. Stay in the flow! And while it’s carrying you down the merry stream, live every moment as if you’ve already found paradise, because in all reality…. you already have! Acknowledge that and be blissfully blessed.
Congratulations, you’re finding yourself! You’re finding more and more of you every single day! Keep falling in love with your discoveries! Just keep coming home to you! This is your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
When you are alone with yourself, you find out what inspires you. You formulate your beliefs. You gain stunning clarity. You discover you. You find out what you want. You find out what you need. You grow. Be alone, eat alone, and take yourself on dates! When you find you, you will have struck gold! Then, when someone does come along that makes every fiber of your body dance on their tiptoes, you’ll be sure of it, because you will be sure of yourself! You can’t know what you need or what you want until you know who you are.
And who are you? You are powerful beyond measure! You are your own game-changer! With a change of energy and focus, you can redirect any outcome! You can change the entire script of your life! You house the Creative Force that creates worlds. Utilize that!
Learn your lessons. Appreciate the classroom of life! And no matter how much you learn and grow along the way, please stay humble and grounded in the knowing that if you’re in this world, you are still a student of it. If anyone tries to guide you from a place of an, “I’ve arrived,” attitude, one word of advice, beware. Humility is a virtue. Wear it well. Make it a required fashion accessory for your daily wardrobe. Jesus Christ once said, “The least shall be the greatest.” A true Guru or Master Teacher edifies you, not himself. He speaks to your greatness, not his own. He doesn’t tell you he has transcended his ego, because he doesn’t waste valuable time that he could be assisting you talking about and validating himself.
Listen to yourself. Be willing to listen to others, but make sure others are also listening to you. If not, move on. Do not pour your sunshine into someone who does not think of you as their sky.
And lastly, laugh. Laugh a lot. Laugh at yourself. Laugh at life. Laugh at your joys and laugh at your failures. You can laugh at your mistakes, because they are going to help you realize your future! You’re going to learn from them! You can joke over your troubles, because you are going to gather strength from them. You can have fun with your difficulties because you are going to overcome them! You grow up the first day you have your first real laugh at yourself! So, chuckle at your mistakes, pick up your peace, and keep marching forward!
And just in case no one has told you today..
You’re doing good, Kiddo!
I believe in you!
The entire Universe is cheering for you!
And nice butt! 😉
– just a few essential statements everyone should hear on a daily basis! 🙂
